One other thing that worries me about this is that we've finally established a way close to qemu developers for notifying us if they are going to deprecate something or change something important. With moving development to some random web page with non-standard interfaces this will just mean that the notifications in this process will either stay on the old mailing list or be forgotten if we don't act on them. Moving development to some other place will in this regard just mean that we'll have to watch two places at the same time. While this seems to be a very low impact thing, the advantages of the new process you've outlined will only ever apply to drive-by contributors. Anybody wanting to take it seriously will necessarily need to subscribe to the mailing list anyways. In the end I just don't want to destroy the relationship with qemu developers by not acting on the notifications of change they send to us.
